Final supplemental environmental assessment to analyze impacts of a NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service determination that the fishery management and evaluation plans submitted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife satisfy the section 4(d) Rule and that the Tribal Resource Management Plans submitted by the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes satisfy the Tribal 4(d) Rule and do not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of Snake River Spring/Summer-run Chinook Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit or Snake River Steelhead Basin Distinct Population Segment under the Endangered Species Act

Description:

"A Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) on the effects of two Fishery Management and Evaluation Plans (FMEPs) from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), one Tribal Resource Management Plan (TRMP) form the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR), and one TRMP from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (SBT) was released by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for a 30-day public comment period on August 11, 2011 (76 FR 49735). Since the draft EA was published, ODFW modified the Grande Ronde River FMEP to include fisheries managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) in the Washington State portion of the Grande Ronde River (ODFW 2012), the CTUIR provided clarifications regarding their original TRMP (CTUIR 2012), and the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) submitted to NMFS a TRMP for the Grande Ronde and Imnaha Rivers (NPT 2012). NMFS considered these changes, clarifications and new TRMP to be substantial new information warranting additional information in the NEPA analysis, and warranting further public review. Consequently, NMFS prepared this Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment to address the following: Inclusion of spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries in the Washington State portion of the Grande Ronde River to be managed by WDFW; Clarification by the CTUIR on their original spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries TRMP in the Imnaha and Grande Ronde River subbasins; A spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries TRMP in the Imnaha and Grande Ronde River subbasins submitted by the NPT"--Executive summary (page 7).
